Great job on the DR. And, really great job getting the screens to match up with pause. And, even though I had several years worth at university, your English is better than by Spanish. Can you post a link to where you purchased it or a demo, so we can get the other resolutions. Thanks.

I don´t know, but when I select it, the game does not allow me to select non-16:9 resolutions :?:

4080x768 (3x1330x768) 3x16:9


It works in surround, there's no FOV errors. But the hud and everything else stretches.
The "Keep Aspect Ratio" Options only gives you resolutions that have the same aspect as your "Recommended Resolution" in windows.
System Core: | Intel Core i5-2500K + ASUS P8Z68-V + 16GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 MHz | Win7 x64 | MSI R7970 Lightning 3GB [1105/1400] |
Display: | 3 x Dell Ultrasharp 3007WFP-HC @ 7680x1600 | Dell u3011 |

For what it's worth, I think the HUD stretches the same way on the Xbox 360

Grid Wars (http://gridwars.marune.de/) is almost the same game and the eyefinity resolutions worked just great when I edited the ini file in the directory to my eyefinity resolution. You are able to fly across all three screens and it really makes for a different style game!

Nice review of grid wars here: http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/grid/wars.htm
